IMPROVBD BAG-HINGE.

Beit known that I, GEORGE HAvELL, of Newark, in the county of Essex, andin the State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and usefulimprovements in Travelling-Bag Hinges; and do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings vand to the letters of referencemarked thereon, making al part of this specification.

A Arepresent portions of the two parts of a, travelling-bag freine whichare to be hinged together'. B represents a metallic plate Which formsone portion of theA hinge. This plete 'is ornamented in any desirablemanner on its outer face, and may be provided with pins or lugs :I: x on.its inner fece, by means of whichlit is riveted to the freme-piece A. Crepresents the other portionof this hinge. which consists of a barwitha. cylindrical head cast upon it; a portion of said heed being turneddown or cast, (or otherwise formerh) smaller for the purposc'of `forminga bearing o'r journal 'with a shoulder, as seen in Figure 1. `Thejournal thus formed fits snugly in an opening or hole in one end of theplate B, end is there rivet-ed sov that it cannot come out, but not sothat it cannot turn easily. A hole is drilled or out through thecylindrical head d from end to end, and

the rod or wire H, which forms the bottom portion of the bag-frame, ispassed through this hole and is rivetedV in said head. The bei" C haspins cast or otherwise formed upon one side for the purpose' ol securingit to the frame-piece A.- The partsB C may be changed slightly Withoutmaterially changing the invention; f` r instanee7 I may cast orconstruct the parts B C without their pins or lugs, but may form holesfor the purpose of connecting them es a hinge to the brig-frame; or Imay form a pin upon the ornamented plte B, (instead of the opening,) anda. bend upon the4 end ot' part C, instead of its cylindrical head, so asto insert the former within the latter, in lieu of the latter ,withinthe former, as herein originally described. These parts B C may beeither cast or made of sheet metal, with the plete B, with or withoutits ornament, but I prefer the former mode of construction herein setforth.

Having thus fully described my invention, what .I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Potent, is- 1. The metallic/ormimental pleteB, having `eitl^ier nu opening or'stem iu its end for connecting it tothe bar C, which ber is provided with a cylindrical head, UZ, 0r band',as described, so that when thus connected to the frame AA', they form aneet and substantiel hinge, as specified.

2. The bar Gand plate B, constructed substantially as herein describedand used for the purposes specified. In testimony that I claim theforegoing improvementin travelling-bag hinges, Ihave hereunto set myhand this fourteenth daygpFebrumy, 1867. Y

' GEORGE HAVELL.
